I cannot as my email address is not on their list, but enable is.... Disability Discrimination in Higher and Further Education Wednesday, 28th April 2004 City Conference Centre, 80 Colman Street, London Disability discrimination is one of the fastest growing areas of discrimination law and is having an increased impact on Higher and Further Education. Legal challenges under the existing legislation illustrate the importance of institutions assessing the suitability of their arrangements. New legislation will require them to look even more closely. This one day conference brings together experts in the fields of disability rights to highlight the main challenges that universities and colleges face in this area. It considers the lessons to be learnt from litigation under the Disability Discrimination Act and how to prepare for additional obligations under the new legislation concentrating on the practical steps that need to be taken. This conference will be of interest to Vice-Chancellors, Senior Managers, Student Advice and Welfare Officers, Equal Opportunity Advisers, Human Resource Managers, Admissions and Examinations Officers, Estates and Buildings Officers and all those dealing with student matters. 9.00 Registration and Coffee 9.40 Introduction and Welcome by Chair Professor Jonathan Montgomery 9.45 Keynote Address Barry Sheerman MP 10.00 Overview of the DDA Part IV Tony Askham 10.30 Preparing for the New Disability Act Neil Crowther 11.00 Coffee 11.20 Exposure to Litigation and Case Roundup Tony Askham 11.50 The DDA in Action – a View from SKILL Jenni Dyer 12.30 Panel session 12.45 Lunch 1.45 How to Design and Use an Audit Tool of the Non-Built Environment and Implementing the Results: A Practical Perspective Melissa Godfray Jean Jameson 2.35 Supporting Students with Mental Health Difficulties Sue Meads 3.00 Tea 3.15 Vocational Training: A Special Case?

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 01 March 2004 12:34 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: DDA Conference 28.4.04 Hi Sue Tried to ask Deb to do this, so wouldn’t have to bother you, but forgot she was still off. So… Was wondering if you could e-mail this attachment to disforum for me – since I became staff they gave me a new e-mail name ([log in to unmask]) and although people can still e-mail me on [log in to unmask], any e-mail sent out uses my new e-mail address. This means I can’t send e-mails to disforum where I’m registered as lb197. Apparently it’s a big long complicated nightmare of a procedure to change it, just for one e-mail. So could you post the details of the conference on the discussion list for me? Thanks!
